This is very hard to write.
Christopher was the founder of the FHL, a man who devoted himself to
helping others.
During his last few weeks he was having problems due to the
progression of his illness, but until then his major concerns were to
do kindnesses for others and for animals.
Before any of the rest of us knew that he was terminally ill
Christopher began both a ferret service club with Jackie and he began
the Ferret Health List then designed it with Bruce Williams, Mike
Janke and me originally, then later also with Pam Sessoms, and Troy
Lynn Eckart. With his kind heart and his insistence on striving to
help others despite quietly almost dying a few times in the last year
and half, he kept donating his time and love through most of his
protracted illness. That was a continuation of the gentle help he
gave to others while in the Navy and during his time as an EMT.
Services are Thursday morning, 9:30 am at Eternity Funeral Home, 1650
Art Museum Dr., Suite 15, Jacksonville, FL 32207. Phone:
904-348-5579.
Chris's mom said he would love flowers, especially purple and white
ones...NO yellow.
He died too young. If the FHL has ever helped you then Christopher
has helped you. Please, find loving ways to remember him and to help
comfort his family.
I am sorry if this is written badly but I just have to get it out or
I won't be able to do so; Kisdafur was as sweet as soul as I've ever
known. Please, send flowers and notes to the funeral home. Please.
